<p>Glen, excellent post. I ran across it as I was having my morning tacos, whole wheat tortillas toasted on a comal, and had to interrupt my energy modeling work to read it. Since I'm very familiar with burning tortillas, I must say you were methodical in your observations. Keep up the good work!</p>

<p>Great story, Glen. In the likelyhood that you'll eventually try to heat your house again with tortillas, you need to treat your toaster oven as a combustion appliance and install a miniature draft hood for it. As there are only about 1,000 or so Btus in a tortilla, there probably won't be enough heated air to induce a draft, so you'll also need to install a draft inducer and wire it into the switch on the toaster oven. Be sure to wire it into the idiot setting so the inducer will only…</p>

<p>Bud,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have some pictures but am not savvy enough to post them here. They are in my webpage linked above. I do look forward to having more excuses as I am not creative enough to come up with them with my own.</p>

<p>Hi Glen, you forgot your camera. If you are going to run a convection test, at least take some pictures :).</p>
<p>Just to add, it could be worse, you could be my age. When I over toast something, not only do they look at me like I'm an idiot, but they look at each other to confirm I headed into full blown Alzheimer's. The excuse that I have always been a ditz doesn't seem to sway their their conclusion as they look at all of the smoke.</p>
<p>Now you know what you have to look forward…</p>

<p>Now you know what you have to look forward to. In my case, I'm looking for a smart stove that won't burn things even if I try.</p>
